Hopper reviews

- Extremely smart, incredibly ambitious people across all teams and disciplines. - The most entrepreneurial group of people you'll ever work with. A dozen or more leaders with founder experience working on what are effectively their own businesses. If you want to start a company one day, this is the place for you to learn in a hands-on way how to build. - Massive $1T+ leisure travel market and easy to imagine going into other massive markets. You will never get bored if you like solving hard problems. - Very strong data culture. Almost every conversation and meeting we're showing, manipulating, and/or referencing data. This leads to a lot of real-time, fast, collaborative, fun problem-solving and decision-making. - Very fast-paced. Working cycles are short. We value speed above many other things, and this is sometimes uncomfortable but frequently leads to tremendous results. - Great pay, great benefits. - Utmost working flexibility (e.g. time of day, location, etc.). - Not surprisingly, the people you work with love to travel. People take real vacations and travel frequently. - Strong culture that management has put countless hours and tremendous thought into. Very deliberate about this from hiring to onboarding to promoting, etc.

There are many great things about this company 1. Remote: having a remote structure allows the company to have access to the best talent without worrying if they live close to an office. It also allows a great flexibility to the employees. On a more personal note, it allows people to have a great career opportunity (challenge and growth) while living in remote areas where employment in more limited. 2. Culture: I can understand that the culture at Hopper is not for everyone, but personally, the fact that they only hire and keep the best people and that every decision is made in the interest of the company allows us to work with high quality people, offer the best service and create amazing products. 3. Unlimited PTO: at first, I was skeptical, I told the recruiter it was a "trap", but it's not. Since Hopper hires only people with high standards, it trusts the employee's judgement on taking time off. For example, in Finance, during month/quarter/year end, you don't take vacation, but outside of that unless there is a very good reason, your manager won't refuse your vacation request. Hopper is a travel company, it only makes sense they allow their employees to travel. 4. Salary: Hopper is ready to pay their employees top of the market and won't loose a candidate based on salary. The stock options are also a really good incentive.
